Stable Video Diffusion

Stable Video Diffusion (SVD) is a powerful image-to-video generation model that can generate 2-4 second high resolution (576x1024) videos conditioned on an input image.

This guide will show you how to use SVD to generate short videos from images.

Before you begin, make sure you have the following libraries installed:

    # Colab에서 필요한 라이브러리를 설치하기 위해 주석을 제외하세요
    !pip install -q -U diffusers transformers accelerate

The are two variants of this model, SVD and SVD-XT. The SVD checkpoint is trained to generate 14 frames and the SVD-XT checkpoint is further finetuned to generate 25 frames.

You’ll use the SVD-XT checkpoint for this guide.

    import torch

    from diffusers import StableVideoDiffusionPipeline
    from diffusers.utils import load_image, export_to_video

    pipe = StableVideoDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
        "stabilityai/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16"
    )
    pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

    # Load the conditioning image
    image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/svd/rocket.png")
    image = image.resize((1024, 576))

    generator = torch.manual_seed(42)
    frames = pipe(image, decode_chunk_size=8, generator=generator).frames[0]

    export_to_video(frames, "generated.mp4", fps=7)

##
torch.compile

You can gain a 20-25% speedup at the expense of slightly increased memory by compiling the UNet.

    - pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
    + pipe.to("cuda")
    + pipe.unet = torch.compile(pipe.unet, mode="reduce-overhead", fullgraph=True)

##
Reduce memory usage

Video generation is very memory intensive because you’re essentially generating `num_frames` all at once, similar to text-to-image generation with a high batch size. To reduce the memory requirement, there are multiple options that trade-off inference speed for lower memory requirement:

- enable model offloading: each component of the pipeline is offloaded to the CPU once it’s not needed anymore.
- enable feed-forward chunking: the feed-forward layer runs in a loop instead of running a single feed-forward with a huge batch size.
- reduce `decode_chunk_size`: the VAE decodes frames in chunks instead of decoding them all together. Setting `decode_chunk_size=1` decodes one frame at a time and uses the least amount of memory (we recommend adjusting this value based on your GPU memory) but the video might have some flickering.

    - pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
    - frames = pipe(image, decode_chunk_size=8, generator=generator).frames[0]
    + pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
    + pipe.unet.enable_forward_chunking()
    + frames = pipe(image, decode_chunk_size=2, generator=generator, num_frames=25).frames[0]

Using all these tricks together should lower the memory requirement to less than 8GB VRAM.

##
Micro-conditioning

Stable Diffusion Video also accepts micro-conditioning, in addition to the conditioning image, which allows more control over the generated video:

- `fps`: the frames per second of the generated video.
- `motion_bucket_id`: the motion bucket id to use for the generated video. This can be used to control the motion of the generated video. Increasing the motion bucket id increases the motion of the generated video.
- `noise_aug_strength`: the amount of noise added to the conditioning image. The higher the values the less the video resembles the conditioning image. Increasing this value also increases the motion of the generated video.

For example, to generate a video with more motion, use the `motion_bucket_id` and `noise_aug_strength` micro-conditioning parameters:

    import torch

    from diffusers import StableVideoDiffusionPipeline
    from diffusers.utils import load_image, export_to_video

    pipe = StableVideoDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
      "stabilityai/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt", torch_dtype=torch.float16, variant="fp16"
    )
    pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

    # Load the conditioning image
    image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/diffusers/svd/rocket.png")
    image = image.resize((1024, 576))

    generator = torch.manual_seed(42)
    frames = pipe(image, decode_chunk_size=8, generator=generator, motion_bucket_id=180, noise_aug_strength=0.1).frames[0]
    export_to_video(frames, "generated.mp4", fps=7)
